This week we bring in a guest all the way from Tacoma, Washington where what will be the largest car museum in the world is currently under construction. David Madeira is the President and CEO of LeMay America's Car Museum, and we'll be asking him what the museum will be like when it's finished, why they chose Tacoma of all places, and why he thinks it will become a mecca for gear heads everywhere. We'll also get into the news of the week, including February's fantastic sales numbers. John McElroy is joined in studio as always by the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo, as well as AAH first-timer Mark Gillies, a hardcore enthusiast, acerbic commentator and survivor of the buff book magazine wars. You're not going to want to miss it.﻿

This week Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, takes the AAH reins while John McElroy is out on the West Coast. Mr. Renzo has summoned up two of his favorite car guys for this occasion: Scott Burgess, the automotive critic and columnist for The Detroit News, and "the man who knew too much" Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics. Together they'll be diving into the deep issues of the week. With oil prices skyrocketing as a result of Middle East unrest, which of the small vehicles -- Cruze, Focus or Elantra -- will be poised to take advantage of the situation? Meanwhile, BMW will be giving all its alt fuel vehicles the "i" moniker. Also, Honda chopped down the size of its board of directors from 20 to 12. Just what is going on at that company?Join us as we get into all this and much more.﻿

This week we'll use the magic of the Internet to bring a little bit of Oregonian wisdom into our studio. Said wisdom will come from none other than friend of the show, Art Spinella, the President of CNW Research, who will join us via Skype. We'll be asking Art about the latest gems of automotive insight to be unearthed from his research. We'll also be getting into the news of the week including the chance that Bob Lutz could be headed back to GM as well as Roger Penske's smart car debacle. John McElroy is joined in studio by the often imitated, but never duplicated Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo.

This week we're back with another episode of Autoline After Hours as well as one our audience's all-time favorite guests. You asked for it, and now you've got it: the irrepressible, always knowledgeable Sandy Munro of Munro & Associates. He'll tell us about a new material he's working with called "covitic aluminum," which could be a major manufacturing breakthrough. We'll also see how much info we can get out of him about the top secret work he's doing for Chrysler. But, don't worry, we'll have plenty of the week's news to talk about as well. In particular, we've got a bone to pick with Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, who just won't call unintended acceleration what it really is: driver error. Plus, we'll get into the huge number of automotive Super Bowl commercials seen on Sunday's game. Did they hit the mark? John McElroy is joined in studio by Gary Vasilash of Automotive Design & Production as well as the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo.
